President Trump’s legal bulldog has a lot of bark.

A newly released audio recording reveals Michael Cohen made expletive-ridden threats against a reporter in 2015 when he was about to publish a damning story about Trump — and those threats were “consistent” with ones Cohen lobbed at porn star Stormy Daniels after she suggested she would go public about allegedly having sex with Trump, attorney Michael Avenatti said Thursday.

“The conduct in this recording is consistent with what my client had to endure from time to time at the hands of Mr. Cohen,” Avenatti told the Daily News after NPR released a seven-minute-long recording of a phone call between Cohen and then-Daily Beast reporter Tim Mak.

Mak called Cohen in July 2015 to ask for comment on a story he was writing about a since-withdrawn court deposition from Trump’s first wife, Ivana, in which she claimed he had “raped” her in 1989.

Cohen unloaded on Mak, threatening his person, his publication and just about everything between heaven and earth.

“Mark my words for it, I will make sure that you and I meet one day over in the courthouse and I will take you for every penny you still don’t have and I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,” Cohen fumes.

Mak interjects, “Michael, besides the warning, do you have a substantive comment that I can include in the piece that reflect your views on this?”

“There’s no story,” Cohen fired before continuing, “So I’m warning you, tread very f--king lightly because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f--king disgusting. Do you understand me? Don’t think you can hide behind your pen because it’s not going to happen. I’m more than happy to discuss it with your attorney and with your legal counsel because mother----r you’re going to need it.”

The Daily Beast went ahead and published the story, and Cohen never filed a lawsuit. Instead, the longtime Trump fixer ended up apologizing for at one point on the phone call saying, “by the very definition you can’t rape your spouse.”

Cohen’s jargon on the call with Mak is similar to language he used when threatening Daniels, 39, to keep mum about allegedly sleeping with Trump in 2006, Avenatti said.

Avenatti said Cohen’s threats against his client continued until she filed her initial lawsuit in March seeking to null a nondisclosure agreement barring her from going public with the claims. Avenatti declined to elaborate on what particular parts of the recording are reminiscent of the threats Cohen allegedly made against Daniels.

Cohen, who’s facing a dizzying number of legal woes, did not return a request for comment.

Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign adviser who knows Cohen, didn’t bat an eye at the recording of Cohen’s phone call with Mak.

“Welcome to New York,” Caputo told The News when asked for a reaction to the recording. “Michael is not the first person I’ve heard talk like this who lives in New York and certainly not in the developer industry.”

Caputo continued, “It’s not the usual way Michael communicates but I don’t find it out of character. None of his comments curl my toes.”
